A Beginning
Welcome to this first page and, hopefully, many more. To get started I suggest you take a moment to read the “About” (top right) which will describe how this site came into being. It’s not long.
This site is not and will not become another of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, that present galleries upon galleries of photographs. It will, however, be relative to those seriously involved in visual imagery, be it through photographs, drawings, paintings, poetry, or prose—all of which create images in the sight and mind.
For starters I have included the cover to Second Image Volume 1 Number 3, which, as shown, is dated 2001, not 1992 as initially intended for. This is the first public showing.
Contributing artists: Thomas Ward, Carl Rhoden, Chuck Powell (deceased), Ronda Stone, Gary Maul, John Benjamin, Ron Lutz, Evie Hickman (deceased), John Sorbie (deceased), Don Eddy
The full publication is available only in PDF form, 864KB. Financing for ink on paper continues to be the main hurdle.
The first issue of Illustrated Light included photographs from Hal Gould’s Camera Obscura Gallery in Denver, Colorado that were being shown at the Illustrated Light Gallery in Fort Collins, Colorado. This issue is out-of-print but could be gotten through this site.
The second issue included a 1963 photograph of Minor White with RIT students in his class. Articles included: Should Photographs Be Manipulated? with supporting Polaroid in-camera composited images; statements by Minor White from the first Aperture quarterly, 1952; excerpts from Aperture by Nancy Newhall; book reviews and gallery showings including Shelby Lee Adams upcoming exhibition at the Illustrated Light Gallery. Less than twenty copies remain of issue two.
